I had similar experience. I was literally crying as I didn't want to go the music class at school (the teacher was extremely strict and scary). The next year, we changed town and the new teacher was awesome. There were posters of all metal bands of the time in the classroom and the class was much more fun.

> Which was, of course, rock.

Nowadays, you can see rock prodigy kids playing guitar on YouTube. Sometimes I wonder how they feel about their instrument and the music they play. Do they even like it?
